Components Key Benefits

High reliability even in the coldest regions
Interrupter chamber with integral double motion technology and self-blast system
of the world: Down to -40 °C with pure SF6
Pressure relief system for passive protection of substation and personnel Down to -60 °C with gas mixture
Field-proven, temperature-compensated density monitor with two-stage transducer Quick and easy installation and
and three-color dial commissioning
Easy access to the SF6 filling connection (type DILO) Long maintenance intervals
SF6 non-return (check) valve on each pole column g3 capability - green gas for grid with very
Protected opening springs inside each pole column low global warming potential
Hot-dip galvanized steel parts
Mechanism housing made completely of aluminum Quality
Reliable spring-operated mechanism with position indicator clearly visible from outside
The entire development and production
procedures are fully compliant with the latest
Installation and Maintenance ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001
Preset at factory before shipping - no adjustments necessary during installation and quality standards. This ensures the high
commissioning quality of our products and services and is
Pole units pre-filled with SF6 at factory before shipping confirmed by regular audits.

Independent disassembly of the interrupter chamber without having to remove the

entire pole column g3 - green gas for grid
Single-pole operated circuit breakers partially pre-assembled before delivery (base GE has pioneered an environmentally friendly
frame with mounted and wired mechanisms) alternative for SF6 gas which reduces the
impact on global warming by more than 99%
Testing compared to SF6.

GE's live tank circuit breakers meet national and international requirement standards. This
has been confirmed by comprehensive type tests according to the latest IEC, GOST and
ANSI standards.
